Further talking about how society has changed due to social media, he added, "I don’t know if I would say it right now, in today’s culture and today’s environment, I think in today's cancel culture. Probably 5-6 years ago, people were a little freer back then. I don’t think there was so much critique and cynicism. There’s a certain cynical attitude also in society that you see reflected on social media now and people will jump on you will bash you if you say anything that is opposing to their point of view or their ideology."
"I think that was not the case so many years back so I don't know if this would be going down the right path the wrong path but this is the world we are living in.

"You can’t really buy too much into the publicity and the perception of you because that’s something that is not in your hands. So, you just be yourself and always sometimes people have pointed a finger and said that you know it’s not good to be brutally honest sometimes and it’s not good to say the truth sometimes and I get I’ve got the foot in the mouth syndrome many a time, but I feel that this is me and my whole motto is you take it or leave it,” he said.
